Congrats girl! I agree with the common misconceptions with dr's.... I am on month 3 of trying to find a NEW PCP that will send off my referral for WLS. ECK! Hopefully THIS one sees the importance, and necessity of wls for me. If not another month (I have hmo and must wait a month between each new pcp i use LOL) of waiting and another attempt at a dr that will approve my need for WLS! You would think that Chicago would be more accepting of wls since more than half the population here are obese. SMH... hopefully soon these misconceptions will be nothing but the past and people will see wls as a tool to help the MO achieve a normal healthier lifetsyle. Great job lady! Keep up the great work!

Thx.... I had to change my PcP just to get a referral to my WLS Surgeon. I was so hurt when she told me she wouldnt give me the referral. Thank GOD I choose a new PCP who was totally on board with my decision. I was hurt at first because my first primary was my doc since I was 19 and I loved her. She was always so kind and caring. She was very groggy about my having surgery..... and wanted me to choose a surgeon that I didnt want, to say the very least. Keep pushing for what you want please dont give up.
